Marshall Gerstein Partner Jeff Sharp is featured in an interview published by Today’s Managing Partner. In the article, Jeff shares his insights into the strategic and operational decisions that have shaped his leadership of the firm.
About the firm’s position as an independent intellectual property boutique firm, Jeff shares, “Strategically, the most important thing that has helped us over the years has been maintaining a long-term perspective. It’s easy to react impulsively to market shifts, but we’ve tried to resist that. We’ve always had the mindset that markets fluctuate, and you’ve got to remain steady through those cycles. Even though we’re focused on IP, we work across the full spectrum of it, which gives us resilience.”
Jeff also discusses Marshall Gerstein’s recruiting and retention efforts, commitment to DEI, and the evolution of technology benefitting law firms today.
Ultimately, Jeff notes, it’s all about the people. “As a leader, you need to model the behaviors you want to see and support your people when they face challenges, whether those challenges are personal or professional.”
